The Green Bay Packers have informed running back Aaron Jones that he is being released and will be a free agent, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Packers had been trying to find a solution with Aaron Jones this offseason, but after agreeing to terms with Josh Jacobs, they are heading in a different direction at the running back position. Josh Jacobs's surprising deal has him as the new lead back for Green Bay. Jones will hit the market and try to find a new home.

It might be a bit tougher for Jones to find a home now than if he was released before today, as some running backs have found new homes already, but he is still good enough to the point that he should land on his feet.

Jones had spent seven years with the Packers to this point in his career, and he was entering his age 30 season. The Packers have brought in a younger running back with Jacobs, who is 26 years old. He will be a key player for Jordan Love to lean on in the 2024 season.

It will be interesting to see what Jones' market looks like. There are some teams out there who could use his services.

A team like the Houston Texans could make sense, as they were rumored to be interested in Saquon Barkley before he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Los Angeles Chargers could make sense as well.

Regardless, Jones will be wearing a new uniform by the time the 2024 season comes along.
